I have a white leghorn pullet born approx. 5/29-5/31. I purchased her on 6/6 from Tractor Supply. She weighed 2 oz when we got her. A week later she was up to 4 oz., and today she weighed in at 11 oz.
She isn't bullying the 3 other chicks for food. Their brooder is right off between the kitchen and living room so we have eyes in them most of the day. The other 3 chicks have only gone up a couple of ounces each week.
I have 2 questions
1. Is it normal for her to gain weight so fast and if not, what do I do?
2. She has barely any feathers like the other 3 do, is that normal, or should I be concerned?
Thanks for any help.
